Abstract The Ross Sea is an area of dense water formation within the Southern Ocean, hence it potentially plays an important role for anthropogenic CO 2 sequestration . In order to estimate the penetration of anthropogenic carbon in the Ross Sea from total inorganic carbon (TCO 2 ) measurements carr...
